The L.D. Mullin sawmill
which was built on the north
side of Ida Lake in 1940, was
very important to Frostproof for
many years. Mullinsville became
a small community with houses,
offices, a store, and a church. A
wonderful lady called me about
finding an album of large
sawmill and Mullinsville pictures
that had been thrown away. She
recognized the importance of
this find and I went to her home
and picked up this historic treas-
ure. We are very grateful to this
caring lady.
I (June Felt) also reported on
the tours I give the school chil-
dren. Recently we had eight
classes. They go back to school
and write us letters about the
items that interested them the
most and then (a plus for us)
they bring their families back to
show them what they have
learned about Frostproof's histo-
ry. I (June Felt) also do special
tours for groups in our commu-
nity and surrounding towns.
Three ladies came from he Ft.
Meade museum and remarked
that they had waited too long to
organize their society and had
lost their pioneers and their
information. We started working
with our pioneers many years
ago and have books written by
the 1st and 2nd families.
One of our thrills February
20th was having Bill Jaques
attend the meeting. Bill was the

been among our early pioneers.

HBS hosts 'Crossing the Moat'

On Saturday, March 19, 2005,
Historic Bok Sanctuary will offer
visitors a special opportunity to
enter the wrought iron gates and
walk across the moat that sur-
rounds the Singing Tower. During
the "Crossing the Moat" opportuni-
ties from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. and
from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., visitors will
enjoy experiences rarely granted to
visitors.
Visitors will be able to enjoy a
different perspective view from the
Tower's base as they look north-
ward across the Reflection Pool.
The typical view for a visitor is from
the iron railing looking southward
to the Tower. Also, visitors will be

able to see the exquisite detail of
the Tower's Great Brass Door
designed by renowned master
metal worker Samuel Yellin. The
imposing masterpiece door is 4"
thick, 5' wide by 10' tall and weighs
approximately 1,100 pounds.
Depicting the Biblical story of cre-
ation, the door features 30 brass
panels crafted in repouss, an
ornamental shaping technique
that creates patterns in relief by
hammering the reverse side of the
metal. The door is the sole
entrance to the Tower.
"Viewing the Great Brass Door
up close creates a truly memorable
experience for visitors," remarks

Robert P. Sullivan, president of His-
toric Bok Sanctuary.
Carillon recitals will be per-
formed by carillonneur William De
Turk at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Visitors
also will enjoy brief carillon selec-
tions on the half-hour throughout
the day. The Sanctuary will be
open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., with
last admission at 5 p.m. Sanctuary
admission is $8 for adults and $3
for children.
